KeyCaptcha… and it’s weird methodshttp://xenforo.com/community/threads/keycaptcha-and-its-weird-methods.48566/”What the heck is the image inside the red dots? Ducks with something else?I understand this is supposed to work against bots, not humans””What you call a security level I call complete bull**** from KeyCaptcha’s side. I have nothing to do with spamming, , nor do I have anything to do with solving KeyCaptcha x times”

“…to send any kind of information of every new member of mine to a company who is registered in the Seychelles, has its bank accounts in Cyprus, and is physically Russia…”

Having a big employment experience in various countries, before my “employment” in KeyCAPTCHA.com, I’ve never encountered the situation when employer and colleagues are always misinforming you, even on unimportant trifles.

.

One more such petty lie I recalled after reading the question by Trevor Matthews:

Well, thу correct answer is that KeyCAPTCHA developers are or were never using this service to protect their own Email addresses.
When I asked “Why?”, the answer was:

“Because address would not available if our servers are down or DDOSed”
Note that a service can be up but unreachable from certain destinations from/to which DDOS attacks come, kinda frequent situation in modern internet

I did feel me awkward by this answer because I advised this service not used by its own provider KeyCAPTCHA.com to my friends as well as I could not understand why I was misinformed about this before.
.
Business is business. In order to be deceptive one does not need to lie directly, just to omit some details.
At least, I could have full correct answer long before I made a clown from me before my acquaintances and friends.

The myth about 100% protection from bots (or, rather, marketing slogan) is republished in thousands publications on the internet.

Those republishing it obviously did not minimally bother to search internet by keywords:

jigsaw puzzles machine (computer) solving (assembling)

visual recognition

to know that jigsaw puzzles were being successfully solved (assembled) by computer (machines, bots) long before CAPTCHA invention, image- video- or speech recognition.
Later, I shall update this article with references of concrete reports debunking this myth

“You can find it out by googling “KeyCAPTCHA is under attack” (quoted)” [1-2]

My answer:
Well, you can’t find all because exact copies of the same text are blacklisted by search engines but I give the partial (that I could find) list of references (URLs) below [1].

KeyCAPTCHA.com:
“This person extorted money from our employee. And he had been caught by the police when he was taking the money” [1-2]

My answer:
I could not extort money from KeyCAPTCHA’s employee because I was informed by this “employer”, already after my dismissal that company that hired me (I am in Russia), was not registered legal company having changed its previous alleged locations (now it is US-based Mersane) and legally could not have employees

KeyCAPTCHA.com:
“This person alleges that he had been our employee. But it is the lie. We are not going to conceal that he assisted us in supporting our twitter account. But after the numerous reprimands regarding the quality of his messages on our twitter, we had fulfilled all our obligations to this person and renounced his assistance” [1-2]

My answer:

This is already 7th variant of my story by KeyCAPTCHA.com I am reading about me.
The 1st one was that I had never worked in KeyCAPTCHA.com,
stole @KeyCAPTCHA twitter account with the help of which I extorted money
(Isn’t it reidiculous that someone can extort thousands UDSs by stealing a twitter account?)
Read my post: “How I Stole My Own KeyCAPTCHA Twitter Account”

KeyCAPTCHA.com:
“But he has never been an employee of our company. We just had a verbal agreement with this person” [1-2]

My answer:
By Russian Labor Legislature and Employment Laws, the employment is being determined by the fact of working employer-employee relationships (working in office, fulfilling working instructions under daily timetable, etc.) but not by writing and signing agreements.
This is quite similar in EU labor legislature.

I was promised the formalization of written contract after 2-month probation which I successfully passed as well as I have thousands proves and witnesses of my work as employer.

KeyCAPTCHA.com: "The Twitter support team had blocked his 3 accounts of his slander and lie on the KeyCAPTCHA Service right after our request and his 2 accounts without our requests Scam.com support team has blocked his 2 accounts of the same lie" [1-2]

My answer:
And I believed that KeyCAPTCHA’s efficiency was, at least 80% while it is just 1-2/7=71%

I shall publish the list of banned for spamming KeyCAPTCHA accounts soon

KeyCAPTCHA Thimbles: Set KeyCAPTCHA.com Spammers to Catch a Spam KeyCAPTCHA Thimbles: Set a Spammer to Catch a Spam. KeyCAPTCHA is created by professional spammers and load spam directly to browsers what webmaster unable to see or control

. So, now he developed a new miraculous technique of unavoidable spamming through antispam protection KeyCAPTCHA.

Though, what’s the difference?

Earlier his bots entertained end-user with meaningful spam comments and now with meaningful entertaining spam (puzzle) pictures, leaving happy not only advertisers but now also owners of web resources.
